Immagration in Reverse
 

MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports,

immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.



7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

SNAP!

What's good for the goose...:)

When in Mexico, don't go see "the donkey show". It will scar you for life.

It's called emigration!

Re: Immagration in Reverse
 

ergh!

that entire post ASSUMES that these are the things that ALL mexican immigrants are asking for and expecting and this just isn't true.

and how come people just totally KNOW that others aren't making any effort to learn?

no offense tom, but it's passing on posts like this that feeds some individual's ignorance

Re: Re: Immagration in Reverse
 

LOL.

Tom, have fun in Mexico. Let us know how this goes.

Are you dating a Mexican or illegal immigrant??

Greekchat becomes more xenophobic every day.

You're right. Xenophobes believe laws should be followed and that illegal immigration is...illegal.

OMG does Bill know, M???

shhhhhhhhhhhhh! don't tell!!!!!!!

And more and more people make sweeping generalizations every day.

i TOTALLY get what you're saying - you should check out that tennessee comment over in the taliban thread!

How about I post it here for you. I said your location does not expose you to immigrants and you are no expert on xenophobia - which is evident in your ignorant posts.

-Rudey
--Glad an immigrant like me could educate you.

last time i checked i didn't claim to be an expert and you know nothing of my location other than your stereotype of an entire state - which is evident in your ignorant posts.

- marissa
-- hey if i said i was an immigrant or dating one, would that make my arguments better or make me look needy for validation?

It's OK. I'm gonna go cheer on the bobsledders from Zimbabwe since their location helps them in their quest for the medal just like your location makes you knowledgable on immigrants.

You can keep posting ignorant things and using words like xenophobia because you don't understand them.

Holy shit......do you really take this kind of thread seriously? Or do you just have no sense of humor whatsoever.

Re: Re: Re: Immagration in Reverse
 

i have a sense of humor - just not for insensitive racially oriented jokes

and i don't think that people should be "OK" with them or ignore them

Re: Re: Re: Re: Immagration in Reverse
 

Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

-Rudey

my bad on that one - you are right

- marissa
-- still doesn't make the joke funny or acceptable

Well, I was born, raised, and live in Texas so I pretty much agree with everything Tom wrote....and find none of it racially insensitive. I see it everyday.
